Zues, I think what you are describing about your "silent treatment" and anger fits my h. Thank you. I am learning a lot from you. I am not giving up on H. Any suggestions you have to break through the silence would be welcome. I don't want to hijack Julie's thread, but I think the advice would be the same. I am listening to H, really listening, not reacting, being patient and open and learning to put aside judgment.
Julie, I missed the retrouvaille reference. Did your H ask to go? I sent my H the link a few weeks ago and asked him to go this summer when he returns. No response. I am curious to know other people's experience with that.
